They are, however, frequently the most revealing of records, giving a far greater insight into our ancestors' lives and personalities than those records created during their lifetime. Celia Heritage leads readers through the various types of death records, showing how they can be found, read and interpreted  -  and how to glean as much information as possible from them. In many cases they can be used as a starting point for developing your family history research into other equally rewarding areas. This highly readable handbook is packed with useful information and helpful research advice. In addition, a thought-provoking final chapter looks into the repercussions of death  -  its effects on the surviving members of the family and the fact that a premature death could sometimes affect the family for generations to come.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49528848122129,"sku":"GOR005763433","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50249671082257,"sku":"GOR007329340","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50426639614225,"sku":"GOR011411661","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/184884784X.jpg?v=1751313842"},{"product_id":"researching-locating-your-ancestors-book-celia-heritage-9781911166009","title":"Researching \u0026 Locating Your Ancestors","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49547813585169,"sku":"GOR009840747","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53348110696721,"sku":"GOR012108133","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/191116600X.jpg?v=1751124286"},{"product_id":"cemeteries-and-graveyards-book-celia-heritage-9781526702371","title":"Cemeteries and Graveyards","description":"This comprehensive and fascinating guide from genealogist and historian Celia Heritage will be an invaluable tool for all family and local historians wanting to track down documentary sources relating to people buried over the centuries. A wide-ranging examination of historical and archaeological findings means that the book will also appeal to anyone with an interest in death and burial.  Celia throws light on changing social attitudes to death and burial from pre-historic times to the modern day, investigates the origins and evolution of cemeteries and graveyards, and discusses the many different types of graves and memorials. She details a wide range of online and offline sources that will help locate burials and memorials, while also offering vital advice regarding good research practice and what to do if you struggle to find a burial for a particular person.  One chapter takes an in-depth look at the origins of the parish churchyard, while another looks at graveyards associated with nonconformist churches and institutions, including workhouses, asylums, hospitals and gaols.  There is plenty of detail about less well-known genealogy sources such as undertakers' and stonemasons' records, together with better known sources such as burial registers and memorial inscriptions.  Celia opens up a world in which the meaning of symbols used on gravestones becomes clear and she takes us below ground to investigate the different types of burial spaces in which our ancestors were laid to rest. She also explains why so many gravemarkers no longer survive - not just through weathering.  Throughout, there is a wide range of hands-on case studies which bring the subject to life and put it right into the hands of the researcher.  This is far more than just genealogy, and Celia portrays this fascinating subject from the view of both historian and archaeologist.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49740099027217,"sku":"NGR9781526702371","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50883254780177,"sku":"GOR012832567","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53212714696977,"sku":"CIN1526702371G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53363609207057,"sku":"GOR012892824","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1526702371.jpg?v=1751117469"},{"product_id":"tracing-your-ancestors-through-death-records-a-guide-for-family-historians-book-celia-heritage-9781473834378","title":"Tracing Your Ancestors through Death Records: A Guide for Family Historians","description":"Of all family history sources, death records are frequently the most revealing since they often give a far greater insight into our ancestors' lives and personalities than those records created during their lifetime. Despite this, many researchers are unaware of the treasure trove of information they contain which can prove vital for fleshing out a family tree and locating yet further record sources. Celia Heritage leads readers through all the essential types of death records, showing how they can be found, read and interpreted. This second edition of her best-selling handbook is packed with useful information and helpful research advice. 'This highly readable handbook is packed with useful information and helpful research advice. In addition, a thought-provoking final chapter looks into the repercussions of death - its effects of the surviving members of the family and the fact that a premature death could sometimes affect the family for generations to come.' Kent FHS Journal 'Many family history books cover death records, but in chapters or sections within a larger whole. A book that deals exclusively with the subject in much more depth is therefore very welcome.Of all the life events, death records are the ones most likely to be overlooked by researchers, and the author rightly reminds us that we should pay just as much attention to them as to births and marriages. ..There are useful case studies throughout the book and a good bibliography at the end, along with source notes, useful addresses and an index.' Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine  'This volume looks at the common pitfalls in researching ancestors - you'd think that a death certificate was common throughout our histories, but Celia unveils different types of death records and explains how in some cases they contain far more information than we would expect to find...another vital tool to enable you to get the best out of available records. Superb.'
